PRAYERS FOR PEACEMAKERS, 23 October 2014

Pray for the millions of people displaced
by violence in Syria, Iraq, and Kurdistan. In the last two weeks, heavy rains
and cold weather have made conditions in refugee and IDP camps much worse. As
winter approaches, pray also for local community members working to provide aid
to displaced people. As the crisis lengthens, pray also for the safe return of
all women, men, and children kidnapped by ISIS.

“Teacher, which commandment in the  law is the greatest?”He said  to him,  “‘You shall love the
 Lord your God with all your heart, and  with all your  soul, and with all your mind.’This is  the
greatest and first commandment. And a second is like it: ‘You shall love  your  neighbor as yourself.
‘On these  two commandments hang all the  law  and the prophets.” Matt: 22:36-40

The gates at the entrances of West Bank cities: division and daily hardship

B.O.S

Across the occupied West Bank including major cities like Hebron (Al-Khalil), Nablus, Ramallah, and many towns and villages, Israeli forces have significantly increased the installation of heavy metal gates and military checkpoints at entrances to Palestinian communities. These gates have become symbols of fragmentation, control, and hardship in the lives of ordinary Palestinians.
